Crowds packed the Yorba Linda Community Center for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Brea, Placentia and Yorba Linda’s popular annual St. Patrick’s Day fundraiser Friday night, now in its seventh year.

Some 360 people turned out for the all-you-can-eat buffet and concert with the Fenians, beating last year’s attendance of 250 people.

“It was a great, great turnout,” said Heather Steves, one of the organization’s directors of special events. “It’s a really good year.”

Early tallies have the fundraiser bringing in roughly $20,000 to help pay for the youth organization’s operations.

Coming up in June, the organization is holding a Mile of Quarters at the Brea Mall. The fundraiser could bring in $17,000 if a full mile is reached. For more information about the organization and its programs for local youth, go online to www.everykid.org.
